The U.S. Health Bureau claims that if diabetic patients get a seasonal flu, they are at greater risk for complications.
India continues to fight rising cases of H3N2 flu. With complaints of flu-like symptoms such as cough, fever, runny nose, body aches, diarrhea and vomiting, many people have contracted the virus. While we’ve all scrutinized all sorts of precautions and tips, the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention has revealed that people with diabetes are at a higher risk for serious H3N2 disease. The U.S. Health Bureau claims that if diabetic patients get a seasonal flu, they are at greater risk for complications.
Not only this, but a study published by National Center for Biotechnology Medicine reveals that diabetes increases the likelihood of medical consultation and the risk of death from the flu. The study also added that diabetes triples the risk of hospitalization after becoming infected with influenza A (H11N1)p. In addition, the risk of ICU admission quadruples once the person is hospitalized. It added that people with diabetes are targeted for immunization against Influenza A.
Aside from diabetic patients, CDC reveals that people at higher risk of developing complications after contracting an H3N2 infection include children under the age of 5, adults over the age of 65, pregnant women, and people going through health problems such as asthma, heart disease, neurological or neurological disorders and weakened immune system.
For all people who fall under the criteria of high risk, CDC suggests they should avoid pigs and hog houses. Constantly washing your hands with soap and sanitizing them is a must. Use masks regularly.
Can you get a virus from eating pork?
Now we all know that H3N2 is a non-human flu virus that commonly circulates in pigs and has now infected humans as well. Experts have now made it clear that Influenza viruses can spread in both ways, namely from pigs to humans and from humans to pigs. But this has certainly raised the question of whether anyone can contract the virus from eating pork. Well, the answer to this is no. According to the CDC, consuming pork has not yet been shown to transmit flu viruses to humans. This is presumably because cooking the meat carefully and properly can kill the virus.
